SUMMARY:Nerd Night @ Knight Watch Games Benefiting Book Buddies
DESCRIPTION:Join us from 2pm-10pm for a full day of board gaming in support of Book Buddies. Nerd Night is holding a book drive to collect books for this year’s fairs. We will have Knight Watch’s library at our disposal\, or bring your own games to play while you make new gaming buddies. Bring a book to donate\, stay and play games all day! \nBook Idea List HERE. You can donate any kids book appropriate for K-5th Grade: https://smile.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1WZZHJYQ11YRJ?&sort=price-asc \n(Hint: Shop at smile.amazon.com and select San Antonio Nerd Night as your charity! We receive a tiny donation at no cost to you with every purchase.) \nBook Buddies is an initiative of San Antonio Youth Literacy. Book Buddies collects books suitable for kids in kindergarten through 5th grade and distributes them at the end of the school year in free book fairs at their Reading Buddy Schools. \nAt these book fairs\, children choose books to take home to read over the summer\, which helps prevent the “summer slide” — a regression in learning over summer vacation when they are not being actively taught. Studies also show that children who grow up in homes without books\, and who are not read to as children\, are far more likely to fall behind in school\, fail to complete high school\, and suffer the unfortunate outcomes associated with failure: drug use\, criminal behavior\, early pregnancy\, etc. \nSan Antonio Youth Literacy developed Book Buddies as an offshoot of their Reading Buddy program\, which exists in San Antonio Title 1 schools where at least 75% of the families are below the poverty line. Children at these schools attend the free book fairs at the end of the school year and take the books home and keep them as their own. They can read them over the summer\, share them with family and friends\, or even their parents. In many cases these donated books are the only books in the home. An added benefit is that children in more advantaged homes learn to share their no longer needed books with another child. Everybody wins! \n
